Abstract

Background: The use of herbal medicine has long been practiced throughout the world, and the production and processing of herbal medicines are constantly being improved to treat various diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between low density lipoprotein cholesterol and certain lipid profiles in the treatment of bay leaf extract (syzgium polyanthum (wight) walp) to dyslipidemia patients.

Method: We recruit dyslipidemia patients, and the search project was given an explanation and asked to give written consent (informed consent) to participate in the research.

Result: Subjects who participate of the study were 15 peoples as a treatment group and ages 47.47±11,507 years old. There is signifikant differences in cholesterol total, LDL-C and Apo=B (all, p < 0,01). There is a correlation between LDL-C and Total Cholesrerol, Triglyceride, FPG and Apo-B (all, p < 0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, bay leaf administration 2x150 mg for 30 days, improved lipid profiles of total cholesterol, LDL, and ApoB in dyslipidemic patients. Bay leaf extract administration has the potential to prevent and improve cardiovascular disease in dyslipidemic patients
